Symbiotic, low-temperature, and scalable synthesis of bi-magnetic complex oxide nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: Functional oxide nanocomposites, where the individual components belong to the family of strongly correlated electron oxides, are an important class of materials, with potential applications in several areas such as spintronics and energy devices. For these materials to be technologically relevant, it is essential to design low-cost and scalable synthesis techniques. In this work, we report a low-temperature and scalable synthesis of prototypical bi-magnetic LaFeO₃-CoFe₂O₄ nanocomposites using a unique sol-based synthesis route, where both the phases of the nanocomposite are formed during the same time. In this bottom-up approach, the heat of formation of one phase (CoFe₂O₄) allows the crystallization of the second phase (LaFeO_3</
